On the basis of the given unbalanced equation, that is:
HBr (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) → 2NaBr (s) + H2O (l)
On the right side of the equation, there are 2 atoms of sodium (Na), 2 atoms of bromine (Br), 2 atoms of hydrogen (H), and 1 atom of oxygen (O₂).
After balancing the equation correctly we get:
HBr (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaBr (s) + H2O (l)
On the right side, one atom of Na, 1 atom of Br, 1 atom of H and one atom of O₂.
Answer: Option D) Salt
Explanation:
An example of acid-base reaction is
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
Acid + base → Salt + Water.
Here, water H2O and salt, NaCl are produced.
Usually, the acid, aqeous HCl reacts completely with an appropriate amount of the base, aqueous NaOH to produce salt, aqueous NaCl and water, liquid H2O only, in a process also known as neutralization reaction
According to the law of conservation of Mass:
In a chemical reaction mass can neither be created nor be destroyed
So, we can say that: Mass of A + Mass of B = Mass of C
In the given reaction,
One of the reactants weigh 5 grams and another one weighs x grams
The mass of the product of this reaction is 9 grams
<u>Mass of reactant B:</u>
Mass of A + Mass of B = Mass of C
5 + x = 9
x = 4 grams
The half-life of any substance is the amount of time taken for half of the original quantity of the substance present to decay. The half-life of a radioactive substance is characteristic to itself, and it may be millions of years long or it may be just a few seconds.
In order to determine the half-life of a substance, we simply use:
t(1/2) = ln(2) / λ
Where λ is the decay constant for that specific isotope.
